I used to think something similar, then I thought about it in these terms.

When you factory reset an unrooted device, all the apps in system remain, only your user apps are removed. The wipe all in recovery functions the same way, just with out booting into your rom. That way if you install an app and it makes everything go crazy, you can wipe user data, and leave system data intact hence gapps not being removed.

*edit*

The format all zip, however, blanks your phone. (Like formatting your hard drive on a PC).

Most of the time, factory reset should be sufficient, but for those who just like to be sure, the zip guarantees everything is erased leaving nothing to conflict.
[EVO 4G General] jcjr81:
I'm having this problem too. I cleared the dl manager and still no go. I even tried another browser but I'm still having this problem.
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
cm's script DOES FORMAT SYSTEM. It just backups gapps before the format then restores them like i said.

So you EXPECT the "Factory Reset" to completely format your entire phone instead of resetting it back to the way it came "factory"? It does what it is suppose to do which is wipe all data and all USER apps.

I'm just tired of seeing people saying RA/Clockwork doesn't wipe correctly or blaming the recoveries when something unexplainable happens. I have used clockwork since day one with cm and it has ALWAYS wiped as it should.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Well that's not quite exactly what it says in the UI, now, is it? It says "Wipe ALL Data/Factory Reset" with ALL in big capital letters.

And yes, if I "Wipe ALL Data/Factory Reset" and then flash a ROM that does not include GApps, I do not expect Gapps to be there when I boot. I don't think that's crazy.

I'm not saying it's broken. I corrected myself and I even thanked you for your informative post. Now I kind of wish I could unthank you.
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
You are not getting it. Gapps is in system. it is not data!

edit: Im not trying to be an ass to you specifically. Many others have stated exeactly what you have with out knowing how it actually works.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Crazyflips the man, his advice is all I would suggest. Cheers!
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
I do get it, thanks to you and others who have given me the information here.

The UI gives several options. One is to "Wipe /data". Fine. Another option is to "Wipe ALL Data/Factory Reset". With ALL Data in ALL CAPS, as a whole separate option from Wipe /data. Ok. So, when I see that, I thought it would do more than just wipe my user data, because the author went out of his way to make an entirely different option.

And once again please understand that I am just explaining my thought process, I am not saying that Amon Ra is broken or doesn't work right.
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
For a while now I've used the format all zip from calkulin and have modified it to my liking for clockwork 3.0.0.5 when I use it..all that said I've never ran into any issue with wiping boot data cache etc..imo if your phones acting up ..never can go wrong with a nanback format all fresh install

[EVO 4G General] Roll3r:
Can someone tell me where this rumored lock screen cover art setting is? I've heard a few mentions of it but can see no trace of it. I also left my glasses at work, so that could explain it as well ;)
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Cmsettings/lockscreen/music control

There is no "settings" per say.. I'm on build 30 and In my case it just shows up on my lockscreen when playing a song
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
There's no setting for it, if you are listening to music and lock the screen it will be there.

EDIT: I was beat! :)
[EVO 4G General] jamsterzak:
Gotta love that...;)
[EVO 4G General] THunDA:
I've been using Calkulin's zip for a while now as im a flashaholic..lol since I started using it before flashing a rom I've had much less problems.. im not sure if there is any negative affect of using it all the time but it has worked well for me.. seems most roms work very well for me now with excellent battery life.

Don't know why I create a sig since im never using the same rom for very long.. :)
[EVO 4G General] dkotoric:
For some reason I can't switch song from my locksreen, the buttons are there but they don't work, can someone help
[EVO 4G General] amw1972:
didn't review the tweets about what's committed today? Anyone have the short version of possibly what's new with build 31...its a larger file than 30...something good perhaps?

Also, where might I be able to find new themes for the theme changer?

Once again, I love this site...the folks on these forums are very helpful...and VERY willing to help others (even us NOOBS)

[EVO 4G General] DanWalker:
I noticed that there was a bit of a jump in file size from 28 to 30 and now another increase from 30 to 31. Was hoping that is was something sweet but i haven't noticed anything yet.
[EVO 4G General] cheapskate88:
Everything now works perfect. Thank you for helping me solve this problem!!!
[EVO 4G General] ibcenu:
Still broke on 31

I would only guess, but gapps was included. I did not have to flash it separate. I know I do not have to, but to a full wipe each time I try a nightly, and this is the 1st time gapps was just there
[EVO 4G General] anaglich:
Drag down to unlock works for me... Build #30
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Gapps was not included. You didn't have to reflash it because 1) wiping in recovery doesn't wipe the system partition where Gapps is installed, and 2) CM backs up and restores Gapps for you when you flash.

The file size is likely larger because support for the Finnish language was added.

You can see all commits to the code by going to twitter.com and searching for @cmsrc.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
+1. Due to legal issues, GAPPS will never be included in any official CM build as far as i know.
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Glad it worked out for ya bruh
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Are you sure you have a playlist or a list a songs going? I had same issues but realized i only had one song selected.
[EVO 4G General] ibcenu:
Ok, for sake of reporting issues?

I do a full wipe/delvick before I flash any nightly. Not sure if it's related, I never had this issue when I was using sonnies theme for CM7. He stopped updating until the final release (totally cool) cause he had tons of changes to maintain (I think he had like 7 or 8 themes running)

anyway with just straight up CM7

The mentioned lock screen will not unlock when set (slide down to unlock)

- Launcher pro hangs for ~ 5 seconds when phone reboots, but then runs smooth as silk. Yep, I tried ADWex in all its glory, it is very cool, but I still prefer LP... less choppy

last & this only happen one time upon boot up Release 31.. My lock screen had pinkish red letters until I unlocked it. Tried 2 more reboots since, and it has not done it again

thats it for me... rock solid, plus I noticed on r 30... my battery life was great compared to normally good with CM7
[EVO 4G General] ibcenu:
ok --- I do not know what was different then, because every other night (when I updated with full wipe/ I had to also flash gapps . ie: I would flash cm 7... no gmail, no market was in my apps.

I believe you, and just looked, but do not know where gapps is stored. I never created an sd partition, unless cm7 does it auto??
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
+1 what he said!!
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Using any custom kernel or Setcpu profiles?
[EVO 4G General] krazyflipj:
Better explanation below. I hope this helps:
[EVO 4G General] ibcenu:
whatever the stock kernel in cm7 is all I use.... I use the built in CM7 on demand setting and raised top speed to 1113. I have set cpu but have not used it since CM incorporated the basic features of it

Yep makes sense... most the time I delete gapps and the previous nightly release from the SD card... this time I did not. I was unaware :o

Thank you!
[EVO 4G General] dkotoric:
Yes I'm sure and I also can't switch with my volume buttons which I was able to do before
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
Just flashed 31 after a full wipe and gps fix, and everything is running smoothly, but I'm not able to pair with my jWIN JB-TH710 stereo headset. On 6.1.2 I was able to get "connected to phone and media audio" but on ggingerbread WIMAX and cm7-31, its able to see the device but unable to pair with it. Has anybody had any issues with BT on cm7?
[EVO 4G General] scoobdude:
O have seen a similiar issues with my s9. Plug it in for a few minutes and try again usually works for me.
[EVO 4G General] splink7007:
Androidian wallpaper

I havent done a full wipe in a long time. So before I flashed the newest nightly, I did a full wipe using amon then flashed the format all.zip. I then flashed cm7 31 then gapps. At first boot my wallpaper from the androidian theme was applied. After I set everything up and all apps were installed, I then selected the andriodian theme as default. When I selected that it changed my wallpaper. CM team must have updated that theme wallpaper? Does anyone know where that wallpaper from the previous androidian themes is located? I really liked that wallpaper.
[EVO 4G General] sarahlegs:
Wow -- thank you for this. I did not know this really valuable information, which is getting lost in the noise here. I think this is good enough to perhaps add this info to the OP.

I have a question for you, good Dr M: to truly wipe my SD card (like, all the audio files, program settings, pictures, random folders in /sdcard that various apps leave behind even after uninstalled), what do I need to do? Also, what is sd-ext wiping, and why does recovery (Amon_RA) never let you do that? Finally, if I'm going to wipe my SD card, what files /typical folders should I absolutely back up off the device to ensure I have them able to be copied back on?

Cheers boys and girls.
[EVO 4G General] HooliganAMA:
Yes works on 31 too. If you don't set a custom app it will get stuck and you will need to call yourself.
[EVO 4G General] Registerforwhat:
Am I the only one with this problem?
[EVO 4G General] stiffspliff:
the reason is that if people mistakenly/unknowingly wipe the /system or /boot partition, they would probably think their phone is bricked since it wont boot
[EVO 4G General] subcypher:
No, I've seen at least one thread about this and possibly more. I don't have links right now.
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
I think the only way to delete all the app data on your sdcard is to go through it by hand and delete. Unless you want to completely format your sdcard but then you will lose EVERYTHING on it.

Sd-ext is used for the "old style" of apps2sd before it was an actual feature built into android. Its a seperate partition on your sdcard so if you don't have that partition setup then there is nothing you can delete from it

Hope this helps
[EVO 4G General] HiTekRawkus:
I'm sorry if this is slightly off topic: with handcent I cannot get the notification sounds to work unless I have notifications in the stock messaging app on, but then I get the message in the notification bar for each message that I have delete manually.

Anyone know how to disable the bar notification but keep the sound of the notification?
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
maybe its a problem with your handcent. i use handcent & everything works as it should. this is not cm7 related. handcent has its own notification settings, my assumption if you have it configured wrong.

not to mention you told us nothing about your config/environment. i dont like to play guessing games.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Yeah, the whole /boot and /system wiping thing was a disaster back when we were beta-testing for Snap 7.6. Ended up having to flash a Sense ROM, then CM in order to fully wipe out everything.

For wiping your SD card, it's fairly easy. Just mount it to your computer, select all, and delete. Or if you have Amon_RA 2.3-test03, there's a "wipe /sdcard" option. SD-EXT is a partition that can be formatted onto the SD card to let you install apps to SD card, as well as their data (for phones with small /data partitions, aren't running Froyo/Gingerbread, and apps which don't have the Install to SD card option). On the EVO, it's not really necessary since we have so much damned space (I've got over 100 apps installed, and have >180MB free).

As for saving folders and files on the SD card, here's what I personally keep and why:

.android_secure (Any apps installed to SD via Froyo/GB's Install-to-SD option, as well as some other files for apps)

Android (used by apps officially to store data on SD such as special large cache.

data (Same as Android, but used by programs that aren't officially from Google, like TB, Plume, Beautiful Widgets, etc.

DCIM (camera photos)

download (any files you've downloaded via the Browser)

dropbox (self-explanatory. Also where I keep all my icons and wallpapers)

emulator_roms (also self-explanatory)

espeak-data (eSpeak TTS data, used by some apps for Text-to-Speech data instead of Pico TTS)

kindle (Shouldn't be hard to figure out... This is where the Kindle app stores books)

media (user-made/saved ringtones, alarms, notifications, etc.)

Music (derp)

nandroid (ALWAYS KEEP YOUR NANDROIDS! I personally keep my last CM6 nandroid, a nandroid of just my wimax.img, and my last one or two backups, which I always create before flashing a nightly)

ROM-CM6 (contains CM6.1.2, CM6 gapps, wimax alpha 3, and gingerbread keyboard flashable ZIPs, just to keep my root folder cleaned up)

ROM-CM7 (Last nightly and the day before's nightly, gapps, latest wimax alpha)

ROM-Sense (where I keep a deodexed rooted 3.70.651.1, Warm RLS5, and sometimes a Warm-Z Nightly)

Tasker (where Tasker keeps its backups and profiles)

TitaniumBackup (Where TB keeps all its backups)

wardrive.db3 (database file for the Wardrive app)

drmacinyasha.openssh (my SSH key file :p )

TitaniumBackup_license.txt (License file for TB Pro)

FORMAT_ALL.zip (I reckon you know what this is)

Must keep: .android_secure, Android, data, espeak-data, media, Music, nandroid, Tasker, TitaniumBackup, TitaniumBackup_license.txt, FORMAT_ALL.zip

This is originally why Amon_RA didn't include the /system and /boot wipe options, and why you don't see any regular-joe tutorials tell you to use them. They're a power-user option. :)
[EVO 4G General] squidstar:
I've never seen anyone comment on this but I've been using CM7 from the start and I can't remember when I started noticing this but whenever I hang up from a Bluetooth call my sounds such as notification and ringtones get distorted. Reboot to fix this. I am using handcent and am hardware 2
[EVO 4G General] HiTekRawkus:
My apologies! I'm running 28, and I have notifications on in handcent, and normally would turn them off in the stock app, but since switch to cm7 it went kablooey (i wiped completely and encountered the problem after restoring the app via market)

I test the notifications settings in handcent and I get both the pop up and the sound. But after I exit I get the pop up but no sound (unless I turn the notifications on in the stock app, which means I get two notifications pet message). Really weird.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Man, I did a full wipe then flashed 31 and now ADW EX is Force Closing on me like crazy! What did I do?
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
What's crazy to me is I been running adwex since it launched and not a single force close ever I swear not 1. But then again, I never freeze apps ,i never restore apps I always wipe everything you can think of and my roms just never have force closing issues. I use caulkins or just wipe in amon ra 2.2.1.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
They they are the first ADW EX force closes i have seen, evar!
[EVO 4G General] Snake-Driver:
Ok guys, slightly OFF TOPIC but I am at my freakin wits end as I know there is a way this can be done.

I have the stock 8gb Micro SD card that came with my EVO and just purchased a 32gb to replace it. My question is; How do move all the files from my 8gb to my 32gb?? I have tried the following:

1 - Copy from 8gb to a folder on my HD then back to the 32gb

2 - After I made the mistake of not copying all the directories that begin with a DOT, had to made sure they showed in Finder so I could copy them over, I repeated #1

Both times, there are empty directories on the 32gb card that are not empty in the folder where I copied them from the 8gb card.

My DCIM folder is empty and I have plenety of photos and videos. My Clockworkmod folder is semi empty, no downloads are there and only half of my backups. The data from the program Key Cards is missing as well. There are probably more but these are the ones I noticed.

Can't I just back up the 8gb card and then restore it to the 32gb card.

There has to be an easy way to do this!! HELP!! Please!! Thanks!! BTW, I have a Mac!!
[EVO 4G General] HiTekRawkus:
NM, it must be something I'm doing wrong so I'm just going to wipe and start fresh.
[EVO 4G General] DanWalker:
Mine was doing that too, restore your nand and then use ADW as your default home and after you flash the new nightly you can set ADW EX again. that fixed my issue.

What are some steps I can take to try and fix mms? I can receive although media doesn't always download correctly, but I can't send at all. I am on 28 and had the same problem on 8. I have run through the standard wiping process and cache cleaning as well as updating profile with a sense rom. Mms works on sense. I also just installed handcent but no luck. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G General] amow24:
You buy the card on eBay from China? If so, I made the same mistake & had data corruption like a MF. Send the card back & buy one from a reputable source.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Make sure Mobile Data is on. I can't send MMS if for instance I am on WiFi and I turn off Mobile Data.
[EVO 4G General] lopezpm:
Me too. I have to be on Mobile Data to download mms. Wifi will not download them for me. Doesn't matter if I try it with Handcent, Chomp, or the regular text app.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
Thanks. Mobile data is always on and I'm mostly on wifi at home, but I still can't send on 3g or wifi. Any time I try to send a mms the send button just greys out and nothing happens. The message is then saved as a draft instead of being sent. I've also noticed that on 28 the messaging service often is causing wake lock issues that require a reboot to fix.
[EVO 4G General] amw1972:
Have you tried using handcent? Am able to send MMS with little to no issues.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
He specifically said that he tried Handcent and it still didn't work.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
Handcent at least tries to humor me by spinning a loading wheel when I try to send a mms, even though it doesn't actually send. Now that I think about it, I wonder if the messaging service prevents the phone from sleeping after I try to send an mms. Maybe all the cogs keep turning trying to send a message for hours, draining my battery in the process.
[EVO 4G General] mwielgosz:
If this has been mentioned forgive me

Have you tried deleting this file?

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

Then reset the phone.

This fixed this issue on both my phone and my girlfriends phone after installing cm.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
It worked!! Thanks!

Edit: Interestingly enough, the stock messaging app still wont send, only receive. But I am liking handcent, so no big deal for me.
[EVO 4G General] Registerforwhat:
forgive my noobness, where do you delete this file? My MMS is not consistent at receiving especially w/wifi on.

Mobile Data is checked.
[EVO 4G General] mwielgosz:
Make sure that you configure handcent to "split" messages longer than 160 characters. The stock messaging app relies on the network to split the messages and won 't ever send something over 160. Handcent allows configuration of this and will split it before it sends, therefore allowing long texts to be sent.

IMO, Handcent is a better app all around, features wise.

What's the best way to get Audiogalaxy up and running? There's an entry in the hosts file on CM7 (as I understand it, since I am not running AdFree) that prevents the phone from contacting the Audiogalaxy servers. I'd been flashing a hosts.zip, but now I've upgraded to the new CW recovery and it still uses the old style of scripting. It's kind of a kludge fix anyway, and before I start looking at the file and seeing what is involved with updating the scripts, I wondered if anyone here might have a better solution to offer?
[EVO 4G General] Sweetlittlehugs:
I just lowered the CPU settings so I'm hoping that helps.

* its definitely not Charlie Sheen
[EVO 4G General] Sweetlittlehugs:
You need to use a file manager like root explorer

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] amow24:
